Speke Resort Convention Centre took centre stage at the 19th edition of Meetings Africa 2025, Africa’s premier Business Events Trade Show, held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa this week. The event, which brings together industry leaders, global buyers, and key stakeholders from across the continent, provided an invaluable platform for Uganda to showcase its growing stature as a top Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) destination.

As the 19th edition of Meetings Africa unfolded under the theme “Africa’s Success Built on Quality Connections,” Speke Resort Convention Centre’s participation highlighted Uganda’s commitment to expanding its presence in the global MICE industry. Located on the serene shores of Lake Victoria, it is East Africa’s largest conference facility, and the flagship venue for international business events.

“We are thrilled to be part of Meetings Africa 2025, the continent’s largest gathering of business event professionals. The event serves as a vital platform for fostering connections and contributing to the economic growth of Africa,” said a representative from Speke Resort. “Our Convention Centre is a state-of-the-art venue capable of hosting high-profile international conferences and events, and we’re proud to showcase it at this prestigious trade show.”

The Speke Resort Convention Centre is a true gem, with modern facilities designed to international standards. It boasts the ability to accommodate over 3,800 delegates in its convention hall and offers 17 versatile conference rooms.

Among its impressive lineup of previous events are the NAM and G77+China summit and the Africa Society for Blood Transfusion Conference, further cementing its status as a leading MICE venue.

Meetings Africa provides an excellent opportunity for exhibitors to meet face-to-face with influential buyers from around the world. The trade show hosts over 350 leading business events products from across Africa, ranging from destination marketing companies to tour operators and technology partners. The event’s matchmaking system and mobile app ensure that all meetings are seamlessly organised, allowing for meaningful collaborations and networking opportunities.

During the opening ceremony, which featured a stirring performance by the Soweto Gospel Choir, South African Tourism CEO Nombulelo Guliwe emphasized the importance of unity and growth for Africa’s MICE sector. “This is a platform for Africa to show the world who we truly are – a continent that is vibrant, dynamic, and full of opportunity,” she remarked.

As the MICE industry continues to grow across the continent, Meetings Africa 2025 is playing a pivotal role in creating new opportunities for business events. Uganda, with venues like Speke Resort Munyonyo, is poised to become a leading player in this sector, providing a world-class setting for conferences, exhibitions, and incentive programs.

Speke Resort Munyonyo’s exhibition at Meetings Africa is a testament to Uganda’s commitment to fostering growth and innovation in the business events industry. With its unmatched facilities, prime location, and exceptional service offerings, the resort is helping to shape the future of the MICE industry in Africa.
